Reminder

God is faithful, and he wants to be involved in every heartbeat of your life. He loves you more than you can possibly fathom. His heart for you is pure love. He desires nothing but the best for you, which by the way is something you can't say about yourself. God is so excited, so eager, to see you grow into all his gifts, to experience all his blessings. He's not sitting back to see what you will achieve and then judging you; rather, he's with you on the playing field, cheering you on. He wants to take care of the heavy lifting, to take care of the burdensome things in this life, so that you might know freedom and joy. He is trustworthy and good.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
